Uncommon space abounds in North End
Take your typical North End apartment, triple it in size, add a to-die-for view and you have the new condominium for sale at 26 Stillman St. Unit 3-2, a rarely available corner unit, is a high-stylish mix of industrial and modern design, with one of the best locations in Boston.
Formerly the home of the Waitt & Bond Cigar Factory and later to the Castignetti Bros. men’s clothing store, 26 Stillman St. was built in the late 1800s and then converted into residences in 2003. What remains from the 1891 manufacturing and warehouse space “bones” is that factory grit with a touch of glamor.
Bathed in natural light from its 13 oversized windows, the unit’s handsome exposed brick, heavy wooden beams, and fittings are as rustic as they feel modern. And, with its 11-foot ceilings and 1,336 square feet of space, Unit 3-2 is ultra-spacious. With an open concept kitchen, living, and dining areas, the unit’s new owners have the flexibility to arrange the space as they want.
Another anomaly for a North End condo? A kitchen with counter space to cook on as well as an island, tons of storage space and luxury stainless appliances with an industrial flair, including a built-in fridge. The rest of the condo’s living quarters are thoughtfully laid out — two bedrooms and two full bathrooms complete the space — with swivel panel walls and doors. Storage isn’t a problem, either. You’ll get an extensive array of custom-built wood cabinets throughout the unit. HOA fees are $1,010 a month, and cover hot water, gas, and snow removal, among other things.
The building’s location in the North End couldn’t be more desirable. It’s close enough to Salem and Hanover streets to walk home after Italian fare, but far enough away from revelers to enjoy a quiet night. Walk to the T and get anywhere in town quickly, or walk to countless eateries and shops right in your neighborhood. The final touch? The building’ s resident accessible roof offers an expansive view of Boston, from Charlestown to downtown.
Open house hours are from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday.
The sale of the condominium, listed at $1,155,000, is being handled by Jeffrey Goldman, 617-840-8332.
